that killed an infant. chris is live with more information. chris, what are investigators telling you? >> reporter: there nothing much now, but the investigation is entering its fifth hour. what we know at this point is that two people were ejected from the vehicle and at least one of them did not survive. it happened just after 1:00 this morning here on capitol expressway and snell avenue. victims were found on the ground. an suv crashed into an electric box. another car nearby, lots of debris all over the roadway. san jose police have not told us how they think this crash happened. it happened just 26 hours after this deadly crash in east san jose, in which a baby was killed. a child and a woman were injured while crossing havana avenue at king road outside a crosswalk. police say the driver remained at the scene and it have the

right of way. he did not see the three in the roadway. the person who died was the 28th victim of a traffic crash for that person died today. in all of last year, 65 people died in traffic crashes in the city of san jose in the streets. 32 of them were pedestrians. i want to show you. in a third of all cases, speed was a factor. in two thirds of cases, people died on dark city streets. strike these cities zero vision program to reduce crashes has identified capitol expressway where we are as a corridor of concern this morning. there are safety improvements that have happened, but the department of transportation to people really need to slow down, put phones down, pay attention, and that could avoid a lot of serious crashes. i do want to tell you that the tow truck is here taking away one of the vehicles. the other tow truck is also there. hopefully, this roadway will be reopening soon. i don't mike has been tracking the details. the details here are really big because it is a really

spreadout area. >> think you for that update. chris seeing in progress what is going on here on capitol expressway. look at the speed that they've changed this morning. if you are heading over toward 87, the deadly crash has caused major intersections to close. the only turn your able to make off of cell is to get up here and go north off of snow onto capitol expressway. turn to hill day back to vista park. you can continue back onto 87 that way. but the opposite direction, you are cut off at vista park. think you very much, mike. we sent out a push alert and breaking news overnight. you can download a free nbc bay

area news app to get updated all the stories you need to know. to develop its for you this morning from embattled telephonic school district. gavin newsom taking heat with conservative board members up a notch. he is now issuing a $1.5 million fine against the to macula school district for rejecting materials mentioning bay area gay right icon harvey milk. speakers were escorted from the room several times on tuesday. it surrounds the state endorsed three paragraph biography of harvey milk and text materials for gradeschool students. on top of the fine, the district will have to pay $1.6 million in shipping costs tied to the rejected materials. newsom says district leaders are violating state law. so far, the conservative board members leading the charge are not commenting. at 6:06, a mystery unfolding overseas as a u.s.

soldier crossed into north korea through the demilitarized zone this week. it has many wondering about his state of mind and why he ran across that border. private travis king is now being held in north korean custody. today, brie jackson is live in washington. thank you for joining us this morning. we are learning that king had already been facing legal troubles when he ran. >> reporter: good morning. that is right. ready for this incident, travis king had spent time in a south korean prison. u.s. officials were preparing to bring him back to the state, where he possibly faced further disciplinary action by the military. >> reporter: we are learning new details about travis king, the u.s. army private scene making a dangerous dash across south korea's order with north korea while joining a tour group. >> everybody was shunned -- stunned and shocked. when the south korean soldiers relaced were happening, they chase after him.

>> reporter: king, who wesley said is in the black shirt, had a few run ins with police while serving in south korea. last september, he was accused of punching a man at a nightclub . that victim did not press charges. in a separate incident, police arrested him for assault. american officials told the associated press that king had just been released after nearly two months in a south korean prison. the biden administration is now trying to determine the 23-year- old's fate. >> we're still gathering facts. i want to be clear that the administration has and will continue to ensure his safety to return him home to his family. >> reporter: the u.s. does not have official relations with north korea. >> we are willing to engage with them at the diplomatic table. they may not accept it, but it is not for lack of trying on our side. >> reporter: king's family in

the u.s. is searching for answers. >> i want to know what was going on in his mind . i cannot see him doing that. >> reporter: north korea remains silent about kings crossing. >> reporter: when it comes to getting to the bottom of what happened to travis king, the white house said it is working with south korea and sweden, whose embassy represents u.s. interest in north korea. >> hopefully he gets back safely. thank you for that. we will turn now to our climate in crisis. and with the warming planet, people are using their acs more than ever. >> you can hear them going. santella just -- scientist mary hult joins us. >> we are talk about the cooling demand reflected in the temperature-based metric called cooling degree days, or cdd. values estimate how much cooling is needed to maintain a comfortable indoor air temperature. cooling degree

values are the difference between a locations daily average outdoor temperature and 65 degrees, and engineering standard that is considered the ideal indoor temperature. this graft -- graph shows the number of cdd days over the course of a calendar year. it has risen to now about 750 cdd's. think about this. more than half of the homes in san jose were built in the 1970s and 80s, when temperatures were much cooler. that expands why a lot of us do not have central air conditioning. the observed rise in cooling demand since 1970 is a trend that is likely to continue as the planet warms and the u.s. rejects changes in cooling degree days. it is expected to drive a 71% increase to how the cooling demand might change by 2050. equity to the u.s. energy and energy administration's latest outlook, commercial buildings are projected to see a 30% increase in cooling demand over the same period. these large future projections

are likely underestimates because they are based on air temperature, and therefore do not account for additional cooling demand due to humidity. in the rise in demand for cooling is not limited to the u.s. globally, cooling demand is expected to more than troubled by 2050. consuming as much electricity as all of china and india today, as countries around the world heat up and gain access to air conditioning. we are gearing up for hotter temperatures again for the inland valleys across the bay area. you can get the latest forecast and look at how climate changes affecting us on our website, nbcbayarea.com. look for our climate in crisis page. this is not a climate change issue, but there is flooding reported on the peninsula. look at our cameras in palo alto just north of our views. south at 101 and willow, reports are coming in that

floods have blocked one lane. they will put flares out. we do not see a lot of slowing coming into the area, but that is known by the park pd as well. it's only there is a landscaping quadrant line. we will check on that and continue to follow the traffic. so far, the peninsula drives smoothly. we will check out what is going on there in oakland. back to you. >> thank you very much. 6:11 right now. remember this guy? now new video showing someone else carving into the coliseum in rome. ahead on today in the bay, the hunt for the person in the new fines being issued for this incident. >> one high-tech company planning to spend $1 billion on a computer. another paying out $1 billion to one person. we will talk about why the nasdaq seems to be in so much trouble. that is coming up. plus, check out this scene.

a gathering of hundreds of golden retrievers. we will tell you about this

right now, and 6:15 as you enrichment, a closer partly cloudy p temperatures in the mid-50s. and we can see the

nice morning we have ahead as the sky clears. in the 60s through noon and then eventually heading into the 70s. nice and mild here, but valleys are going to be much hotter today. let's talk about that. a heat advisory, and what is ahead for the weekend coming up. look at this. major changes in the bay bridge. packed earlier and then easing up. later than expected. we have another factor that may be affecting the volume of those able to get to oakland. that is coming up. we will get to the nasdaq index in a second. i'm guessing you do not recognize that temple. these are continual wheat futures. the questions are threatening to sink ships carrying grain out of ukraine, and the cost of wheat is way up. microsoft hit all-time highs yesterday. a little money coming off the table this morning. but the ceo will go down in history as one of the best ceos and tech. he has taken the company from

near irrelevance to a major force once again. now, bloomberg is calculated between salary and benefits, satya nadella has taken over $1 billion during his time at microsoft. tesla will spend $1 billion on a super video -- a supercomputer handling the video and audio that it's cars generate. that made investors uneasy. $1 billion is a lot of money. the computer will be called dojo. elon musk said he expects the price of tesla will continue to fall. tesla prices are down as much as 25%, depending on the model. tesla, for instance that used to cost 45,000 is down to 38,000. netflix also briefed

investors and analysts with its quarterly reports. you would think it was full of goodies, subscriptions are up, not many people quit after netflix started cracking down on password sharing. companies even said it had extra money and had because it has been buying fewer movies and tv shows because of the writers strike. now, of course, there is an actors strike as well. netflix said it buys material for an affinity with advance that it has enough material. ethics shares will likely fall as the market reviews at 6:30. same with desktop. it could be a rough day. ironically, both of them reporting all and all good news. as i understand it, the actors strike is coming to netflix today. yes, it will be interesting to see how that unfolds. it is 6:18 right now. another person caught on video in rome defacing the coliseum.

an italian tour guide caught a young tourist seemingly carving something onto the nearly 2000- year-old amphitheater. they immediately reported the incident to security. but so far, the person has not yet been found. in coliseum security said a third recent incident not caught on camera involved a german teenager. this all comes within a month of this video. you may still have seen it. a man you later said he did not realize the coliseum was an ancient artifact. he is now facing up to five years in prison and fined more than $15,000. >> not a good trend. >> it is really confounding. tending this morning a better news, golden days for dog lovers in scotland. look at that, heavenly. hundreds of golden retrievers and their owners gathered in the scottish highlands to celebrate the 155th

anniversary. dogs from all over the world participated. the event is held near the ruins of a minute rate is believed the dogs were first bred. goldens were originally bred as a working dog to bring stamina, power, and training ability. and now families love those dogs. it is nice. >> make sure your dog is labeled before you put them out there. >> imagine how cruel it would have been if someone had a ball and did a fake out, all the heads turn. yeah. to make a good morning for dog walking, i guess. >> absolutely. you want to get in early. temperatures will be heating up. we always save it is too hot for you to walk barefoot on the asphalt, it is too hot for your dog. >> now i do, i take off my flip flops in check. we will see those temperatures heating up. at least it is cool now.

as we take a live look outside, you can see those low clouds covering just over 101. we will see the clouds clear out over the next two hours. the flat fire continues to burn in southwestern oregon. that smoke is coming directly down into our north bay. it has been also starting to collect in parts of the east bay as well at the tri-valley. as we move into the south they this afternoon, it will be warmer. reaching 87 in san jose. morgan hill reaching 94 degrees. we are in the upper 90s this afternoon with antioch and claremore at 88. along the coastline, low 60s. while we see some low 80s in palo alto. san francisco, upper 60s downtown. in the north bay temperature ranges from 90 in napa 278 in mill valley to 100 to in michalak.

that is where he will have a heat advisory that sparks tomorrow at 11:00. as i mentioned, take care of those pets. we have also seen some really extreme temperatures across all of the southwest. and another day with record high temperatures. phoenix hitting 118 degrees today. they will have some warm weather. but it is also not going to be that dangerous. you do want to take it easy this weekend with friday in livermore reaching 102. upper 90s on saturday, but then we will see those temperatures coming down. for our inland forecast, it will be hot over the next few days, with upper 90s in triple digits, and then we will head back to the upper 80s for the start of next week. again, keep it mild here along

the coastline. we are looking at 70s over the next couple of days. mike, you are seeing a big slowdown in oakland. but we do have it confirmed that there is police activity. it looks like the lanes are completely block. all of them for west on 580 at grand. you get this you a few minutes ago. we have not seen any more slowing, but there is probably more traffic getting past the area. the reason i say that is because everything is moving slowly toward the bay bridge. now it is slowly building back. once again, the west 80th grand, it looks like all the lanes are blocked for police activity. everything else looks pretty smooth. >> thanks, mike. nbc bay area responds. thousands of people have bad trouble with air travel lately. we found a pathway where

welcome back. by now, you have likely heard of the summer travel nightmares across the country. people getting trapped in layovers for more than a day. some people not even getting to their destinations. >> so frustrating for folks. if you have a beef with an airline, uncle sam may be able to help. chris moore will show us how to open a federal case and what

you might get out of it. let's look at how it works any great to the government. before you start, collect your thoughts and documents. write up a condensed timeline of events. and then that add in a narrative about how the airline dropped the ball, how it affected you, and what you would expect now. the d.o.t. only takes airline complaints in writing. either i mail with a letter to this address or online at transportation.gov / air consumer. in fairness, we will note that the d.o.t. also takes compliments about their airline service. as you can imagine, very few people send a positive message when things go well. there is a small box to explain the situation, limited to 3000 characters. finally, submit. what happens next? government reps will investigate and ask the airlines it's take. the d.o.t.

said it requires airlines to acknowledge consumer complaints within 30 days of receiving them. you can also let our response team know that airlines are not required by law to respond to us. another bay area warm up. a live look in san jose this morning. amateurs this weekend should hit the 90s. meteorologist ca ry

this police department is falling. and it is in turmoil. it needs urgent help. >> reporter: right now at 6:30, a shakeup for a troubled police department. antioch's top cop suddenly stepping down. what is next as the department deals with a racist text scandal and unusual timing. we have a new look at body cam video and a new plea from parents. the hollywood drama putting up between studios and striking actors. silicon valley giant expecting to see picketers in a matter of hours. this is "today in the bay". a very good morning. thank you for starting your day with us. i am laura garcia.

>> we are following breaking news in the east bay. five highways are now closed because of police activity. mike is tracking that closure for us. >> the latest is pretty much what you reported there. that is all we know. 580 westbound saw a lot of slowing. i thought on the report earlier. westbound 580 coming over towards oakland, that is currently closed at about grand avenue. alternates would be highway 13 or northbound a 80. they are both moving at speed as you get to the area, joining up with highway 24. there is no other slowing, aside from a circle there. nothing major there. the back of the bay bridge did ease up. there is slowing there. we are also looking at hov lanes. we will have to take a look, but that is a lot. >> we were talking in the

weather department about the hotter temperatures coming in. we can see the nice, clear sunrise we have over san jose. yesterday at this time, it was mostly cloudy. we can already see the change. as we had out of morgan hill and make plans for earlier in the day, going to the playground will definitely be a better bet before this temperatures ramp up. from 53 in the next hour to 80 degrees at 1:00. it will be clear and sunny, but there are high temperatures expected through today, versus the record high for today, it will be very close, but just four degrees shy of a record high temperature. other areas are definitely hotter, but not close to a record. we will take a look at even hotter temperatures in tomorrow's forecast coming up in just a few minutes. developing right now, charlize and antioch after a bombshell announcement from the chief of police. he is stepping down after only nine months on the job. it comes in what is called a critical point in the ongoing federal investigation involving racist text messages.

ginger is live this morning. ginger, this is either coincidental timing, but it is raising a lot of eyebrows. >> reporter: that is right. specifically because chief stephen ford is announcing his retirement, just 48 hours before a critical hearing on friday where he is expected to testify, along with other officers from the antioch police department involving that racist text message scandal. there is an ongoing investigation into that matter. but chief ford saying that he is retiring and making that announcement, as another round of racist and homophobic text messages were made public. some made at the chief himself. the first batch of racist text

messages were made public by the district attorney back in april. and it involves some of the same antioch officers. the chief has not given a reason behind his decision to retire. but said he is proud of what they have accomplished and firmly believes the groundwork has been laid for organizational success. he adds that he sincerely hopes engagement with the community will continue and flourish. now, the announcement comes as a surprise to community leaders, who were hoping fords leadership would signal a turning point for their city. even antioch mayor lamar thorpe that he had not spoken with the chief about his decision and was surprised by it. >> will just have to continue to move forward. we've got a city manager position coming up, we've got other leadership positions in the city coming up. >> he was our only hope. and the fact that he has only been there for less than nine months, it shows that this police department is falling. it is in turmoil. and it needs urgent help.

strike the chief has not yet responded to questions about his announcement and friday's hearing. speaking of that hearing, five of the 15 officers subpoenaed have been excused because of, quote, industrial industry industries. -- industrial injuries. we are expected to hear from the chief today. he is expected to step down officially from his position on august 11th. also, he is expected to speak on his retirement. the naacp has been working very hard with the police chief. we will be keeping an eye out for developments in this story. kira? >> thanks. we will have updates on that in our later newscast. arranged parents are demanding authorities drop all charges tied to a chaotic crash involving police and reporters. newly released body cam video shows chaos as it unfolded july 8th. that is when officers work up the annual dolores park hill

bomb event, which police considered an unlawful gathering. it led to more than 100 arrests. many of them juveniles. at a hearing last night, police had an aggressive response from officers. in chief bill scott, who defended officers actions got an ear full. >> i do not understand why the police treated us the way they did, for not knowing who did what and when it happened. some of the parents who attended last night's events claimed their children were treated like animals. but chief cut scott said many were detained with concerns they may have been carrying weapons. the investigation is ongoing. happening today, the suspect in a freeway shooting that killed the five-year-old girl is set to appear in court today.

the five-year-old died april 8th after she was hit by gunfire and interstate 880 in fremont. her family was on their way to a birthday party. investigators later determined the shooting was gang-related, and that they mistook the families car for someone else. these three defendants are scheduled to appear today for a pretrial hearing. also today, u.p.s. workers will hold a rally and what organizers call practice picketing near their headquarters in richmond. investigators -- negotiations are now at a standstill with the clock ticking down to a july 31st deadline. if a new contract cannot be reached, u.p.s. workers across the country are promising to go on strike. it would be the company's first labor action since 1997. the bay area today taking the spotlight in the ongoing strike involving hollywood actors. there are plans to picket outside of the netflix headquarters in moscato. it is about pay, benefits, and

the use of ai. silicon valley streamers are at odds over a compensation deal. hollywood production remains shut down and may stay that way for a while. right now, there are no negotiations scheduled. hollywood is also in the midst of a bitter rivals strike. a picket strike at ethics is expected to start at noon. the hollywood shutdown will have a huge shutdown on the annual comic-con starting later today. with hollywood studios downsizing their presence this year, but look at the crowds out there. big lines already forming last night ahead of the preview event tonight. this morning, we talked with some of those excited fans. >> honestly, the experience. i wanted to go for years, i've been trying to get in, finally a family member with help me out. i'm thinking and glad to be here. >> even if the intent -- event is missing its usual a listers,

the schedule is jampacked. we will take a look at our forecast. >> it is getting hotter and we are making weekend plans. maybe you're heading to southern california, it will be hot in los angeles. temperatures reaching in the upper 80s and low 90s. and we will see all-out sunshine there, even hotter as you drive from the bay area to southern california. now we are going to have some nice, mild weather in time for the a's game. the esters in town tonight, as well as tomorrow. look at those temperatures. it will continue to cool off from their as we head into the mid-60s later in the evening. looking nice with the weather issues there. if you're going to napa this weekend, it will be hot in the middle of the day. at least we did have a cool morning to start out with. our morning into the upper 50s, and then it is heading into the

upper 90s for tomorrow and saturday. the coastal areas will be a popular destination. look how cool it will be in monterey. and it may be hard to shake the local as we will see throughout the morning into parts of the afternoon. just some peeks of sunshine. it is going to be very warm there. shorts and t-shirts, at least for the middle of the day, but a jacket for the morning as we are looking at our morning starting out in the low 50s. my team has been tracking the east bay issue. is it still going on? >> yes. circling here towards 80, there is an issue at monument with a disabled vehicle. i think they may have cleared the disabled vehicle, but that was a problem building for concord. we talked about this, 580. we just got word that they cleared 580, these -- traffic is moving better now once you get past the grand.

so far, the mazes are right, but the bill continues at the plaza. we are talking about here over by the colosseum this evening. a game starting a new series here at 6:15 pair that will mean more congestion as some folks are leaving work. we have a slowing standard on the san mateo bridge. the better news is no more scoring for new transit lines. but we do have an early departure for folks on the mid east subway. thanks. it is great to see all that green on the freeway. >> an unusual surge in california water. the arrival of spring rains. an unprecedented number creating more than just a spectacle. why experts say there is a big risk in getting too close. >> reporter: a fresh new bill

in congress this morning to ban robot bosses. if your soccer-loving coworker seems bleary-eyed this morng, we know why. in

bloomberg say they think the fed will raise interest rates one more time and then quit because inflation is coming under control. a separate survey yesterday shows the recession is receding. when you look at the hard data, those are all solid. president biden has been calling all of that "bidenomics". although we have said for years that presidents have a lot of influence on the economy than you might think. biden will be talking "bidenomics" today. pennsylvania is a key state in the upcoming presidential election. if you take a look at the election that trump won, this was back in 2016. trump won pennsylvania, georgia, arizona, and michigan. in the 2020 election, biden won in savannah, georgia, arizona, and michigan. when we look at economics statistics, where is the economic growth? a lot of it is in pennsylvania, georgia, arizona, and michigan.

in fact, one fifth of all new investment related to the chips built and clean energy is in arizona and georgia. >> washington, the republican- led house oversight committee heard from two irs agent is a federal prosecutors were not aggressive enough in pursuing charges into the presidents son, hunter biden. he was a lower said they thought the prosecutor in charge at the justice department was not given enough freedom to investigate. the man in charge of that investigation come a u.s. attorney david white, who was appointed by trump. and white himself that he arrived at the decision to charge hunter biden the way he did on his own. biden will be in court at the end of the week. today in the senate, tennessee senator bob casey will introduce two bills to produce protections for workers against artificial intelligence. one bill is called nova but losses. it would prevent companies from allowing computers to make sole
